What is Epsilon?
Epsilon is a data broker, which means that it collects and sells information about consumers. Epsilon’s website states that it has information on more than 200 million consumers in the United States and Canada. This information includes ”identifiable information” (i. e., name, address, phone number, email address, etc.) as well as ”identified information” (i. e., web page visits, purchase history, etc.). Epsilon also has a database of security questions that are often used to verify a person’s identity when resetting passwords or accessing account information.
